Ain't Easy
Imma jump in
Nbs, yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh
When I see a police officer
I like to smile and wave
I like to believe they're not all bad
My life's worth a saving
Some of them believe I'm more than
Just an elimination Of African Americans
In this corrupt population
That I'm more than just a black human being
In this war against the blacks
Cause the black lives matter in scene
That I'm
That I'm more than just a face under a hood
That I'm
I'm just a black queen misunderstood
I'm sorry Mr. Officer
But I need you off my back
And understand when you surround me
I feel I'm under attack
And no, I'm not susceptible by admitting to committing
To a crime I really didn't cause I was scared for my life
I don't wanna be the next black shot
And no you didn't win
I just value the life I got
I'm hardly living when you mention
My position in a society
When the blacks are who they targeting
We just tryna party
They always say that life's a giving
How?
We living in a prison
In a world that claims controlling Is my liberty contradicting--ugh
Nah it ain't easy being black
We gotta cut a lot of you people slack
Don't say I pulled a race card
If racist is what you are
I'm calling you out
Cause I see you hating me
While you hating me
With no real reasoning
Believe me
Believe me
And until you took a step into my shoes while you're
Conflicting on what you should and should not do--ugh
Then I don't wanna hear your struggle, boo
Your struggle don't even sound like it's true
I'm bothered by your lies
I'm bothered by your despise
Bothered, bothered by your eyes
Cause your eyes ain't too wise
If they don't see that my skin is just a color
(I'm bothered)
If they don't see that this world is full of color
(I'm bothered)
If they don't see the clothes you wear match my skin
(I'm bothered)
If they don't see that color is color within
(I'm bothered)
Holla when you need a dollar
Got a dollar for your thoughts
And your perception of me
I can prove it to be wrong
(I'm bothered)
Nah it ain't easy being black
But I'm sure you don't know nothin about that
We gotta cut you people slack
Yeah we all know it be like that but
But I value my life, man
I value my life
I value my life, man
I value my life
Believe me
Nbs, yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh
When I see a police officer
